A comment on HandBrake 1.2.0 Released.

Years ago when HandBrake started to ship without deCSS and use non-DVD sources, we were finally allowed to use it at work as a UI for ffmpeg to make mp4 files with x264. Due to lawyers, we were not allowed to use any software that bundled deCSS. No VLC for us, but that was okay with its lack of frame advancing.

Couldn't you have forked it, removed the deCSS code and used that internally? It's opensource after all, same with VLC.
